Why won't my Pothos plant grow?

I've gotten it over a year ago.
It had 6 leaves.

Now it has on 4. Never more, never less.

I water it, I add food.

I took it completely out of its soil months ago to check for root rot.

Then I put it in new soil.

It's not growing 😐

It’s probably root-bound. You need a slightly larger flower pot if it is.

@cherokeepatti what do you mean? When I took it out the soil a few months ago, to me it barely had roots. It only has 4 flowers...you think it needs a bigger pot?

@iamnikki take it out of the pot and check the roots. Pathos seems to grow slower than philodendron, which does get root bound often

@cherokeepatti it doesn't have flowers I just couldn't find my words. I'll try coffee I guess. I put miracle grow liquid plant food in it when I remember to do it

@iamnikki there was a lady where I worked that poured her leftover coffee on a pathos in the office. I think she didn’t want to go to the bathroom and dump it but it didn’t have cream in it so it was OK

@cherokeepatti one more thing, I have one that is completely in water . the water is cloudy. Not sure if it's from the one squirt of liquid plant food that I put in there or if I need to change the water?

@iamnikki might be good to change the water, if it’s getting cloudy there’s probably bacteria in it

@cherokeepatti yikes okay. But this is a cutting I got from a coworker last month. It already has a new leaf.
The one I bought last year is the one that's struggling
